Chapter 99 You Have to Pay Compensation
The reactions of the villagers who were watching the scene were beyond the Tian family's expectations. Tian Zhuang originally thought that the villagers would help denounce the Wen family, after all, the poisoning of a child was no small matter. Who knew that everyone would side with the Wen family and speak from the Wen family's perspective?
Old Lady Tian started to rant to the villagers who were talking about it: "The child is young, she doesn't know what stealing is, she only knows to eat good things when she sees them."
Another elderly man laughed and said, "The children don't know, but the adults know it too. If it wasn't said to be poisonous, you and your family would have eaten it behind closed doors."
Tian Zhuang's face was very ugly. Wen Qingcheng looked at Tian Zhuang and said, "We bought the meat and made it into bacon to eat during the winter. You stole it. Who will compensate us for our loss?"
When Old Lady Tian heard about the compensation, she got anxious and said, "What compensation? My granddaughter vomited like that yesterday and she even consulted a doctor. We spent more than ten cents on it. It's all because of your words. You have to compensate us!"
Wen Qingcheng glanced at Old Lady Tian and said, "Either return the bacon to me or pay me! Forget about anything else."
Ye Xiuying wanted to give up, but now her daughter was confronting someone, and she had learned her lesson. Since she couldn't get a word in, she decided to keep quiet for now.
Tian Zhuang said: "She is still a child, you are too fussy about it."
Wen Qingcheng sneered and said, "Then my Chuyi is just a fool, you are too fussy."
This sentence almost choked Tian Zhuang and his mother to death. Wen Qingcheng continued, "My husband is stupid. The whole village knows it. He often says nonsense. If you think he is wrong, then condemn him morally."
"You...it's obvious that you two have colluded with each other." Tian Zhuang's face turned red like a monkey's butt due to anger.
"You have the ability to collude with a person who is not in the right mind, but I don't have that ability. My fellow villagers, my family has no land, and we rely on buying food from the town and the county. We have finally prepared the bacon, but now it has been stolen by his family. In this heavy snow, where can we, an orphan and a widow, get food?"
Several villagers who were watching started to discuss again. "Compensation should be given to the Wen family. If they don't have money, they can at least give them some food or something to make up for it."
"That's right. It's so cold. Where can the Wen family get food?"
Xing Er hurriedly advised: "Okay, let's go back. Since the meat has been eaten, it's just as well for us to compensate the Wen family with some food."
"At least there is someone in the Tian family who understands what's going on." Wen Qingcheng said lightly.
Tian Zhuang said, "What do you mean, that we in the Tian family are unreasonable? You are the only one who is reasonable. You knew the joke your husband told, but you didn't tell us, and it caused my daughter to vomit and have diarrhea."
Wen Qingcheng looked at him coldly, "Funny, how would I know you stole it?"
Old Lady Tian wanted to say something, but an elderly lady in the crowd said, "Old Tian family, please stop talking. You can't blame them. You are the one who is in the wrong. Since the children are fine and the family is safe, you should compensate the Wen family and let this matter be over."
Old Mrs. Tian glared at the old lady and thought: We came here to reap some benefits, but how come the Wen family suddenly seems to be right and we are asked to compensate the Wen family.
Xing'er saw passers-by stop to watch and ask what happened. She was afraid that it would ruin her daughter's reputation. Besides, this was the Tian family's fault in the first place, but now they were thinking of causing trouble for the Wen family. She was not so shameless and really wanted to knock the Tian mother and son unconscious and drag them back.
Xing Er smiled and stepped forward and said, "Madam Wen, we, as the elders, failed to discipline the children and caused you trouble. How about this, I will go back and get the rice to compensate you."
Wen Qingcheng didn't embarrass her anymore, nodded, and looked at Ye Xiuying again. "Mom, what do you think?"
Ye Xiuying didn't intend to ask them to pay, so she said, "Qingcheng, you decide."
Old lady Tian's face turned the color of pig liver. Tian Zhuang saw that Xing'er had agreed to the compensation from the Wen family without permission. He was the head of the Tian family! He wanted to get angry, but with so many people around, he couldn't say much, so he could only grit his teeth and leave.
After the Tian family left, some onlookers said that Wen Qingcheng was fussy. Everyone guessed that Wen Liang was a son-in-law of a wealthy family and left a lot of money to Wen Qingcheng and her daughter. Even though he was so rich, he still wanted the Tian family to pay him back.
Wen Qingcheng ignored these voices. The people of Yueya Village were simple and honest, and most of them were quite reasonable, but they also followed the law of the jungle, that is, good people are bullied. Even if Wen Qingcheng gave people the impression of being cold, fierce, and difficult to talk to, it was better than them thinking that the Wen family was weak and could be bullied by anyone.
Soon, Xing'er came alone with a sack of rice and said some words of apology. Wen Qingcheng knew that Xing'er was different from the Tian family and was a sensible person, so she didn't make things difficult for her. She accepted the rice and went to the new house with Chuyi to see the decoration.
Xing'er left after feeding, and Ye Xiuying began to prepare lunch. It was winter and they didn't grow any vegetables, so they had to buy all their food in town. It had snowed frequently since the winter solstice, and their family hadn't been to town for a long time. Now, there were no vegetables left at home, only a few cabbages.
Ye Xiuying knew that Wen Qingcheng had eaten enough cabbage recently, so she took six taels of meat out and wanted to go to her neighbor's house to exchange for some vegetables.
Soon, Ye Xiuying came back with some vegetables. She went to the kitchen, picked up two white radishes, and found the dried shrimps that Ruan Sanlang had sent her before from the cupboard, planning to make a radish and shrimp soup. As the old saying goes, a bowl of radish soup is worse than a basket of delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
Ye Xiuying washed the radish, cut it into small pieces, and chopped the green onion, ginger and garlic for later use. She estimated that Wen Qingcheng and his wife would soon return from their new home, so she started to prepare the soup. When they returned, the hot radish soup was just out of the pot.
Heat the pan with cold oil, add chopped onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the white radish and allow it to fully blend with the aroma of ginger and garlic. Then add water and dried shrimps, cover the pot and simmer.
By the time Wen Qingcheng and Chuyi came back from school with Zicheng, the white radish was just stewed until it was soft and tasty. Ye Xiuying poured the radish soup into bowls and brought it to the main room, where the family ate it while it was hot.
After lunch, Wen Qingcheng said in surprise: "The little guy slept so soundly today, and he didn't cry or make a fuss."
Ye Xiuying was also puzzled. Although the little one could only drink milk now, she would always be greedy when their family ate. She would always scream "Ah-woo, Ah-woo" when she smelled the delicious food. But what happened today? There was no movement at all.
"I'll go see her." Wen Qingcheng put down her bowl and chopsticks and went into Ye Xiuying's room. A few seconds later, she heard Wen Qingcheng shouting in the room, "Where's Xue'er? Mom, where did you put Xue'er?"
Ye Xiuying was sitting in the main room, and was puzzled at first, "It's on the kang."
Then Wen Qingcheng ran out anxiously, "No, the child is gone!"
